Outstanding Leadership in Healthcare Founder and CEO, Medefer Dr Bahman Nedjat-Shokouhi About Medefer Medefer is a Care Quality Commission registered provider, working in partnership with the NHS to provide a virtual outpatient service and deliver faster, better care for patients. Medefer was founded by consultants working in the NHS with a deep commitment to working in partnership with the NHS to provide a more effective and faster outpatient service for the benefit of patients. The shift to online working taking place in the NHS provides new opportunities for consultants to support patients in new, flexible and innovative ways. Our virtual outpatient service is delivered via our unique software platform, which manages patient care from initial referral though triage, diagnosis, treatment and discharge back to Primary Care without the need for in-person hospital appointments, where they might wait several months. Medefer Consultants work online to review GP referrals and manage those referrals through the entire pathway. The case-based approach means that the commitment is flexible and individual consultants can choose to select as many referrals as they want. Medefer are expanding their scope of specialties and scale of work so the opportunities will continue to grow. About Dr Bahman Bahman is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Medefer.
